About Bruce
Bruce Kalver has been working professionally for over 40 years. Billed in the early years as "Rhode Island's Youngest Professional Magician," his magic education started at the age of four when his grandfather, Samuel Woolf, who was himself a magician and an assistant to Houdini, began to teach him the art. At age six, he was ready to start his career.

His work in magic has taken him all over the world. He has toured with his wife and partner, Arlene, on cruise ships sailing the Atlantic and the Caribbean, in Dinner Theatres all over the country, and at trade shows where they added their magic touch to many products and services.

Bruce has been showcased and interviewed on television, in newspaper articles both locally and nationally, and has actually performed magic on the radio. He has acted as a magic consultant for the Tony Award winning Trinity Square Repertory Company as well as for numerous other professional, college, and amateur theatre groups for whom he performed or taught magic for their productions and created special magic effects.

Bruce is a very versatile performer; he is able to adapt to any possible stage setting or audience. That is why companies like Microsoft, CBS Records, Showtime Cable Network, General Electric, AT&T, Coca-Cola, Dave and Buster’s, and Marriott Hotels have utilized his talents and ideas.

Bruce has taught his craft at the University of Rhode Island, Rhode Island College, Johnson and Wales University (where he taught a special course on the use of magic to promote products), as well as many magicians’ groups around the country where Bruce has shared his special secrets with fellow conjurers. He has even lectured at The Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Currently, Bruce is the First Vice President of The Society of American Magicians and moderates their online newsgroup. He is also the editor of the Society of Young Magicians members’ magazine which is read worldwide.

Bruce is also the host of a very popular weekly radio show, THE NOSTALGIA TIMES RADIO PROGRAMME on WBSM now celebrating its 15th year on the air.
